sadly I still got to use perl 5.10 so local *HTEC... is not working

Sure it is, it worked since the very first perl5, at least

perl -MData::Dump -e" dd $f={2,{4,{6,8}}}; local *H=$$f{2}{4}; dd\%H"
{ 2 => { 4 => { 6 => 8 } } }
{ 6 => 8 }

Hey, you are right! :-)
Perfect!


But there is one thing, I have to remove the  use strict;
else I get a:
Global symbol "%HTEC" requires explicit package name at...

Thanks a lot!

There may be some case where removing "use strict; is a valid approach, but if so, I'm having a hard time thinking of it (not that I tried very hard -- because strict is your friend). Put it back in and find out how to make the hash "legal" (perhaps by declaring it with "my").
